During these closures, traffic will be signed to use the Highway 14 interchange at Third Ave. in Mankato to circle back to either northbound Highway 169 or westbound Highway 14. The project is expected to last about two weeks.

Central Specialties, Inc. of Alexandria is the contractor on the $387,033 project, which is designed to improve traffic movements and safety in the area of the interchange. This project was initially scheduled to begin Sept. 4, but a shortage of aggregate resulted in a delay.
